Larry Kagan is a sculptor who uses steel, light and cast shadow as a creative medium. He explains that "we are more or less aware of the presence of shadows, since they tell us something about our environment, but we do not actually look at them, unless they call attention to themselves by some unfamiliar or unexpected behavior." Kagan's challenge is to induce viewers to actually look at the shadow rather than solely at the steel. His works of art appear to be abstract metal sculptures, and even when viewers see them close-up, they have difficulty understanding how his metal constructions cast these incredible shadow images.
